What Is a Tort?
A tort involves any wrong committed by someone that has caused you injury or harm, and can be tried in civil court. All personal injury cases are consider to be torts. However, not all torts can be classified as a personal injury lawsuit.
Main Types of Tort Law
- Intentional Torts: harm or injury that a party intentionally causes someone
- Negligent Torts: injury or harm to a person that is caused by a party’s reckless conduct and negligent behavior
- Strict Liability Torts: an injury has occurred, and the defendant is responsible. This usually occurs in circumstances involving serious injuries, such as explosions, severe dog bites, dangerous products etc.
Most personal injury cases are negligent torts. This includes cases where the injured party has suffered a slip and fall, a car accident, reckless medical treatment, and other personal injury claims.
Statute of Limitations in New York
Several factors must be kept in mind to succeed in a personal injury case. The first is the limitations statute. There is only a short period in which a person who is injured may file a lawsuit. Depending upon the nature of the claim, the window varies. These timelines, generally speaking, are 3 years in personal injury cases. There are some cases in which the limitation period may be extended, but it would be an exception rather than a general rule.
Also, if a Municipality such as the City of New York, New York City Transit Authority or MTA will be a party sought to be held liable or responsible, a Notice of Claim must be filed within ninety (90) days of the accident or incident.
Damages You Can Recover in a Personal Injury Claim
Types of damages you may be able to recover with the help of our lawyers with years of experience include:
- Economic damages: losses that can be assessed readily and that are financial. For instance, all economic damages that may be recoverable in a personal injury claim are the costs of medical care, travel to and from medical services, treatment, medical supplies, lost income, property damage expenses, and more.
- Non-economic damages: Damages do not always include money, and it can seem difficult to place a price on the value of the non-economic damages of a party, such as the value of their pain, suffering, and emotional distress. Since there is no other way to compensate an individual for these losses but through monetary compensation, a claimant in a personal injury claim can request compensation in addition to the full value of their economic losses for the full value of their non-economic losses
